The morphology and anatomical relationship of the paraphysis, anterior choroid plexus, and endolymphatic tubules of Hyla versicolor suggest that these structures may act as a functional unit to regulate composition of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Ependymal cells of both the paraphysis and the ...

This motif, which binds the calcium ion , is found in several proteins that regulate cellular activity via changes in calcium ion concentrations. Many proteins that bind to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and regulate gene expression incorporate a zinc finger motif. As the name implies, this motif ...
T4 and T3 in the blood regulate the synthesis and release of TSH from the adenohypophysis through negative feedback, and the response of the adenohypophysis to thyrotropin-releasing hormone is important to maintain a relatively constant rate of thyroid hormone secretion. Thyroid hormones can regulate...

Many marine species can regulate the intensity of bioluminescence from their ventral photophores in order to counterilluminate, a camouflage technique whereby animals closely match the intensity of the downwelling illumination blocked by their bodies, th
and hematopoietic stem cells have been rescued after exposure to the blood of a younger animal using a parabiosis model174. As noted before, the reactivation of Wnt in the intestine is capable of rejuvenating aged ISC32. In other organs, it is known that aging promotes the development of pro...
ically, candesartan could have caused the marked inter-strain difference in the reduction of blood pressure and also could have significantly alleviated the cardiac hypertrophy in SHRSP. Thus, it is plausible that the observed inter-strain dif- ference in gene expression profile that was ameliorated...
The liver, functioning as an endocrine organ, secretes a variety of substances that influence the activities of other body organs. Conversely, molecules generated by organs such as bone, the gut, and adipose tissue can also impact liver function. Accumul
Faecalibacterium Prausnitzii is not only one of the most copious determinants of butyrate, secreting anti-inflammatory molecules that regulate the host immune system, but also an inducer of T regs [63]. A recent study performed in 90 patients with Crohn’s disease (CD), who underwent 188 ...
